We've included plans from various gas providers in WA to help you find the best option for your household.
"When I moved from Sydney to Perth four years ago, I was surprised to find out I couldn't actually compare electricity providers. Synergy is the only supplier of electricity servicing Perth, so that decision was made for me. When it comes to gas, however, I was able to compare and choose.

These are further broken down into a number of regions including:
Residential customers on both networks are supplied by a single retailer, but there is one notable exception for large businesses.
If you're a large enough business you will be able to negotiate with various suppliers.
This is based off two criteria:
This is due to counting as contestable customers, which are available to negotiate with various providers.
